I don't see the inapplicability, just the need for one more step: rsync
your News and Mail dirctories and .newsrc files between your notebook and
server as necessary and possible (ie, in your hotel room).  Then you can
use Gnus on your notebook when you can and on your server when necessary,
and you have a backup of your notebook mail files in case the notebook is
stolen or breaks.
